About Mind Drain
Mind Drain, Sorcery, designed by Grzegorz Rutkowski first released in Sep, 2020 in the set Zendikar Rising. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 1.56.
A deck that focuses on disrupting the opponent's hand size and graveyard could benefit from using Mind Drain, such as a control or discard-based deck. However, there are potentially better cards like Thoughtseize or Inquisition of Kozilek that offer more immediate and targeted hand disruption. While Mind Drain can be situationally useful, its cost and effects may not make it a top choice for competitive play unless the deck specifically needs its combination of discard, mill, and life gain effects.
Rules
09/25/20
If the target opponent can discard only one card or can’t discard any cards, they still mill a card and lose 1 life, and you gain 1 life.
